Lyrics of If I Was a Carpenter by John Holt
verse
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If I were a miller and the mill should grind me
Would you miss your lover man?
Your soft shoe shiner, yes
Oh sweet, baby
verse
If a tinker were my trade would you still find me?
Absolutely, yes I would
Come give me your tomorrow
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
Well, well
Oh baby
chorus
See my love through loneliness
See my love through sorrow
I'm giving you my only-ness
Come give me your tomorrow, yes
Oh baby
Mhmm
Well, well, well
verse
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my babies?
If I were a miller and the mill should grind me
Would you miss your lover man?
Your soft shoe shiner
chorus
See my love through loneliness
See my love through sorrow
I'm giving you my only-ness
Come give me your tomorrow
Oh yeah, yeah
Well, well, well
verse
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my babies?
If I were a miller and the mill should grind me
Would you miss your lover man?
Your soft shoe shiner
Well, well
outro
Your soft shoe shiner, oh baby
Your soft shoe shiner
